Unit 8: Physiology of human body systems, a human biology unit.

How will I be assessed?

Each unit has its own method of assessment. Unit 1 is examined using an external exam. Unit 3 is a skills based exam unit but has pre-release material associated with it. All other units are coursework units that are assessed within school.

Where can it lead?

A large amount of our pupils go on to study nursing or physiotherapy. Other common routes are sports science or biomedical science. The course gives you skills needed for a wide range of university courses or employment opportunities.
